I recently bought a Samsung watch 7. I'm trying to set up the mobile plan. I'm using Nothing phone 2a+.
But I'm getting the following error. Did anyone else encounter it? How do I resolve it?
​
India has temporarily banned Telegram for a week ahead of the NEET re-test, saying that the app was being used to spread leaked papers, fake question papers, and exam scams.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov responded by saying that banning Telegram because some users shared leaked exam papers punishes more than 150 million ordinary users in India. He also argued that the leaks have not stopped - they have simply moved to other apps.
The government’s view:
Telegram was reportedly being used by people selling leaked or fake exam papers.
With a major national exam approaching, the government wants to reduce cheating and misinformation.
The ban is temporary, not permanent.
Durov’s view:
Most Telegram users have nothing to do with exam leaks.
The real question is where the leak came from in the first place.
If someone inside the exam system leaked the paper, banning a messaging app does not fix that problem.
People who want to cheat can simply move to another platform.
To me, the biggest issue is that a platform can spread a leak, but it usually does not create the leak. If a paper was leaked before the exam, then someone with access to that paper must have leaked it. Finding that source seems more important than blocking the app where it was shared.
On the other hand, if Telegram was being widely used for scams and fake leak claims that could affect millions of students, the government may see a temporary ban as a way to reduce confusion during a critical period.
The key question is whether the ban actually works. If cheating networks simply move to WhatsApp, Discord, or some other app, then the ban may be treating the symptom rather than the cause.
What do you think?
• Is a temporary Telegram ban a reasonable step to protect exam integrity?
• Or is it collective punishment that affects millions of innocent users while the real culprits remain untouched?
• Should the focus be on banning platforms or finding the source of the leaks?
Edit: I apologize for the typo in the title. It is Pavel, not Paul.
